Exhibition Opening & Building Brooklyn NOW! Panel

Building Brooklyn NOW: Architecture, Community, and the Next Generation

Thursday, April 2 · 6:30–8:00 PM

1.5 AIA CEUs (pending)

Unveiling the Brooklyn NOW! 26 exhibition, this panel introduces the public to the exhibition and the people shaping Brooklyn today. Centered on the question, “Who is building Brooklyn now?”, the conversation highlights the collective forces, architects, planners, civic leaders, cultural institutions, and future generations, who contribute to the borough’s built and civic landscape. It offers an accessible entry point for students, families, and community members interested in how they can participate in building Brooklyn’s future.

Brooklyn NOW! 2026, presented at the Brooklyn Public Library – Library for Arts & Culture, celebrates the design forces actively shaping our borough today. Opening in April 2026, the exhibition highlights how architects, builders, and visionaries are reimagining Brooklyn’s streets, homes, and civic spaces. The exhibition will be accompanied by five in-person public programs, including a gallery opening that invites visitors to engage directly with the ideas and people behind the work.
